My first 'new' car is coming soon...

[FrozenShivers]

Hello guys, I'm very excited, having only ever owned 2 cars before, a 1996 Mx-5, and my current car, a 2005 1.2 Clio (booooooring). I've secured a 2 year PCP on a 2015 Polo GTI, the deal was £249 deposit and then £249 per month (8k per annum), with 1 year's free insurance and free servicing for the duration of the PCP. They've accepted my clio as an exchange so I'll be skipping the deposit and having lower monthly payments, I've gotten one in white with the performance package, can't wait!

I should really remember, but in my excitement I can't remember lol! I think it's possible next week? I'll have to give them a call soon to actually find out

Looks like questions have already been answered for me ...the car is due next week, still waiting on an exact date, so I'll have pictures etc soon guys&gals.

Small update, dealer messaged me yesterday to let me know that my car has now arrived in the UK, so should be with me very soon! I'll get pictures etc up ASAP when I get it, I'm hoping I can grab it tomorrow as I'm off work, very excited!

Ignore the crap quality (dealer took it), not had much time in it yet, but to say I'm in love and it's a huuuuuge upgrade to my old car is an understatement

Lovely car.

Are you going to take up SKIing and have the nickname SUMY.

Sadly I'm terrible at skiing and to top it off I have a bad knee

Yes, LED headlights are standard, I made a mistake last night and thought that they were actually my full beams when I was in the car (never owned a modern car) as they were so bright! I'll try take a picture for you tonight if I remember if you like?

Here's a quick couple I took today when I was off to get my hair cut :P

Sorry for the late replies guys, I'm a bit slow sometimes :P

Also was your deal a teaser deal or a vw backed one?

I'm not sure to be honest, sorry!

[quote=Nice car, is this the new 1.8T version?

How did you come about that deal? Seems cheap for a brand new car in that price range!

Yes this is the new 1.8T version. I came about this deal through a company called 'GTIWorld' in Edinburgh who are part of the VW group

[quote=Was it one the dealer already had on order?

I ordered mine back in January, and looking at delivery in late April / early May?

I think they already had it on order, I only had to wait a week or two.

Absolutely loving the car so far, 300 miles in and it's been brilliant! Couple more newbie questions, I've been trying not to go too hard on her as she's a brand new car (my first), should I be taking it easy for the first 1000 miles or so? Or will she be ok after she's up to temp?

Lastly, sometimes the clutch is squeaking a little, worth contacting the dealer I guess? Or is it a very simple fix? Thanks in advance.
